About this show
Four teenagers. Twelve months. Endless possibilities. Four teenagers are ready for a taste of the real world before they embark on... whatever comes next. As they plan their adventures and start to figure out who they’ll be, a frightening realisation hits: a gap year can’t last forever. There’s so much to do and only so much time. Will they rise to the challenge and forge an iconic legacy, or crumble and question everything? Only time will tell... Filled with laughs, live music and a touch of pathos, you can't miss it.

The show starts fast and brims with inventive direction and some good jokes. I'll forgive the dodgy wigs. It slows as things turn serious, before reaching a remarkably touching and mature denouement considering…
